Common Maintenance and Questions
V70/XC70 – Service Reminder Reset:
To reset the service reminder, do the following:
1. Push the key fob all the way into the dash slot (until it clicks)
2. With your foot off of the brake, tap the engine start button – this should light up a portion of the gauges.
3. Push down the trip mileage counter reset button (a nub to the right of the RPM gauge)
4. Still holding down the trip mileage counter reset button, and with your foot off of the brake, push the engine start button for about 2 seconds until all of the informational lights (i.e. check engine, etc) light up. Once they light up, you can stop pushing the engine start button (but continue to hold down the trip mileage counter reset button).
5. After a couple more seconds of holding down the trip mileage counter reset button, you will note that the “i” (the alert that there is a vehicle message) will begin to blink. This is your cue to release the trip mileage counter reset button. You must do this before the “i” stops blinking, or it will not reset.
6. Restart the car to confirm that you have successfully reset the “book time for maintenance” message.

Additional Parts Information: (WORK IN PROGRESS)
- Some parts absolutely will not transfer, mudflaps are the easiest example. On the V70 they are screwed and riveted plus the installation requires drilling.
- Pre-Sensus interior console (MY 2011)
Beige: #39810538
Anthracite: #39810536
Total number of pre sensus console styles for ’70: 2 (solid colour or chrome boundary).
Total number of pre sensus console styles that can be installed: 3 (above + S80 executive version in polished walnut colour)
- R-Design pedal rubbers:
For AT transmission cars: #30756145 | 2 pieces
Individual number for replacement: #31255496 (gas pedal) | #31255494 (brake pedal)
Rubbers also installed on non R-Design cars from the factory when certain equipment levels were ordered.
- For MT transmission cars: #30756143 | 3 pieces
Haven’t got individual numbers at the moment. No footrest piece offered by Volvo.
- Rubber tunnel mat:
Anthracite: #30661603
Several colours were available, but no longer. Among those were mocca brown (XC only interior option), two shades of anthracite and two shades of beige. Will get back to you.
Soft beige: #39834684
- Nifty back seat cover for ’70:
#30754506 only in black. Allows seatbelts to come through but covers the complete surface.
- Front ashtray insert:
#30722460 removable item. Only with matte chromed lid.
- Rear ashtray, replaces console frontage in rear footwell. Only for cars without rear seat audio controls: Can’t find at the moment.
- Front V70 only R-Design matte chrome piece for bumper, lower air opening: #31339983
- All bumper related parts (trim, grill, covers) are V70 or XC70 specific. For the V70 they are also pre and post facelift (2nd facelift that is) specific. Applies to both front and rear bumper for V70. On XC70 everything is interchangeable with the exception of electronic bits.
